Marco Silva confirmed Sasa Lukic's injury is serious after Fulham's 1-0 defeat at Leeds. The midfielder is likely to be sidelined for an extended period, compounding the club's fatigue. Emile Smith Rowe's knock is considered less severe, though Silva offered no definitive timeline for his return.

The loss ended a remarkable run of form for Silva's side, who had climbed into European contention. Their performance at Elland Road was notably flat, with Silva admitting they failed to create a single chance in the second half. This downturn comes as Fulham navigate the absence of key players at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Silva also issued a firm transfer stance, declaring a 'zero chance' that Harry Wilson leaves this month despite his contract expiring. The manager is adamant Wilson, in career-best form, is integral to their push for Europe. Fulham remain active in the market, pursuing PSV striker Ricardo Pepi and monitoring Brighton's Evan Ferguson.
